Poem

severely agitated
by remarks
on patriotism called nationalism
which for me casts a negative shadow
isn't nationalism a thin disguise for saying
communism?

I so love my country
and was brought up with religion
although I have followed my own spiritual path
in adulthood
my American heart stands true

I'm the one crying at parades
at marine bands and military choirs
voices raised together in patriotic, even religious song
bring me to my knees

power
is what causes death and war
abuse of power political or religious

and yes children in America
even exchange students and expats
should raise their voices in thanks and praise
for being allowed to stand
in American schools.

pledging allegiance
showing respect
